It continues unabated and at full speed the update of Samsung smartphones to One UI 5.0 based on Android 13. After the Galaxy A52 5G, A52s and M33 triad that received the update at the end of November, the long-awaited moment has now also arrived for the Galaxy A42, a device announced (and reviewed) at end of 2020, for the 4G version of Galaxy A22 – whose debut dates back to spring of last year – and for Galaxy A23 in the LTE and 5G versions.
